What is NASAs cleanup goal for the Decommissioning Project?
By the time NASA expects to have its Reactor license terminated by the NRC (at the end of 2010), NASA will meet the NRC’s cleanup level of 25 millirem for unrestricted use. Unrestricted use – also known as the Resident Farmer Scenario, means that someone could safely live on the site, eat all crops grown on the site and drink groundwater from the site. The land will remain under NASA control. Plum Brook Station has a number of active test facilities, which require NASA to maintain a large buffer area. NASA’s plan is to keep control of the land after decommissioning has been completed and maintain it as part of the needed buffer zone.
